Amazing Grace

Sapaan Tuhan memang suka ajaib. Mulai dari kebahagiaan kecil yang kadang kita tak syukuri hingga tamparan keras yang membuat kepala puyeng 7 kliling. Apapun itu, yakinlah bahwa Tuhan menyapa setiap hari, jam, menit, bahkan detik.

Terima Kasih Tuhan untuk setiap sapaanMu dalam tiap langkah hidupku. Aku, si Malau, akan mencoba memaknai setiap sapaanMU itu, termasuk yang Kau berikan akhir-akhir ini.
Aku mensyukuri Tuhan. Sebab, dengan demikian aku selalu diingatkan akan hidup, kehidupan, dan Sang Pemberi Kehidupan itu sendiri.
Hidup yang Kau berikan kepadaku ini sungguh luar biasa. Terima Kasih Om...
:D

Amin



Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)
That sav’d a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears reliev’d;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believ’d!

Thro’ many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promis’d good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call’d me here below,
Will be forever mine.


John Newton (1725-1807)
